I run because I enjoy it — not always, but most of the time. I run because I have always run — not trained, but run. What do I get? Joy and pain. Good health and injuries. Exhilaration and despair. A feeling of accomplishment and a feeling of waste. The sunrise and the sunset.
I've never known a runner who had as much patience as he needed.
It's not about how fast you go. It's not about how far you go. It's a process.
Here’s my mantra: ‘Every mile is a gift.’
In the longest run of all, your life, you're going to be a winner.
That's the beauty of starting lines: Until you begin a new venture, you never know what awaits you.
